I'm trying to finish up little projects on
the plane. Here I am working on the rear
support bracket for the main torque tube.

For some inexplicable reason, Zenith
provides this part too long and needs to be
cut.

Now the part fits in the opening and is
clecoed together.

I have no idea why Zenith provided all of
these parts the wrong size when every other
part of the kit is cut to size and match
drilled, but now I have to cut about 1/2"
off of the bottom of this steel piece.

After I cut it, I cleaned up all the edges
and rounded the corners.

The part is now complete and ready for
primer. I won't install it until the very
end though because it makes it more
difficult to climb into the opening in the
bottom of the airplane.
